Python allows to subclass builtin classes but the Python Interpreter
uses builtin types.
As an example keyword arguments are inserted in a dict but I would
like to use an user defined SortedDict.
There are plans to add such a feature in a future version?
Note that it's polite to start a new thread when you change topic.
That said, I don't expect Python will ever let you replace things like
this -- it means that libraries would not be able to depend on
consistent behavior across users. What would happen if I did something
like:
class BrokenDict(dict):
def __getitem__(self, key):
raise TypeError
and then set Python's dict to this dict instead? I would break pretty
much every function that takes a **kwargs argument.
